Biden administration accelerates solar-energy development plan on federal lands

U.S. President Joe Biden‘s administration said on Thursday it had finalized a plan to expand solar energy on federal lands in 11 Western states, part of a broader push to speed the permitting and construction of big infrastructure projects.

The White House wants to accelerate approval of projects ranging from power transmission to wind and solar farms as it seeks to decarbonize the power sector to fight climate change, and is eager to tout its “Investing in America” agenda ahead of the November presidential election.

Shining new light on the onsite solar market

The summer of 2023 saw wild weather patterns, unprecedented Pacific hurricanes, and historic heat waves across most of the Western world. These climate crises have driven up the pressure for companies to reduce their carbon emissions and embrace sustainable practices. Indeed, the number of companies making public commitments continues to rise. 42% of Fortune 500 companies have set a major climate milestone for 2030, or have achieved one already (up 11% from last year). While the pressure for brands to decarbonize is stronger than ever, coming from customers, investors, and competitors alike, finding the best path forward can be difficult. That’s where Zeigo Network comes in.

The key to lowering the cost of electrification is energy management and demand response, starting with local solar and storage.

Local solar and storage are essential to the electrification movement

The movement to fully electrify our buildings and transportation sectors represents one of the best ways to decarbonize the American economy, but if we do not pursue the most cost-effective path, we could hit major potholes that slow down or derail our trek to net zero emissions.

With more and more electric vehicles on our roads every day, electricity demand is set to significantly grow, and not only that but higher peak demands could force trillions of dollars in grid infrastructure improvements. As we’ve seen with extreme weather leading to rolling blackouts just this past year, our electricity system even today is not equipped to handle increased electricity load, let alone what we expect from full scale electrification.

The microgrid will help provide additional energy storage to improve the hospital’s ability to withstand long duration outages.

Valley children’s healthcare to install microgrid on California hospital campus

,

Located in a rural part of Central California, Valley Children’s Healthcare, which delivers care to more than 1.3 million children, regularly faces the threat of rolling blackouts, unsteady water supplies, and wildfires.

This volatility impacts the organization’s ability to deliver services at its 358-bed standalone Valley Children’s Hospital in Madera, Calif., as well as its specialty and primary care practices.

“Our doors need to stay open because these kids don’t have anywhere else to go,” says Danielle Barry, chief operating officer at Valley Children’s, adding that the hospital has a 45,000-mile catchment area.
